you said, "what's the problem?"
and i could see your heart break
i was the only one who knew
what you had seen not five minutes ago

you said, "it'll pass."
as you sat in your room alone again
night after night
too afraid to let anyone in
because you were even more afraid
to let anything out.

you said nothing
as i watched you rip your heart out
through the tears
and permanently attatch it to your sleeve.
